Call + 27 (0) 31 267 0144 for booking & information
Within the unique sand forest and grassland ecosystem of the Tembe National Elephant Park roam
over 220 of the largest elephant in the world, the last remaining indigenous herd in
KwaZulu-Natal.
This 300kmpristine wilderness, a proclaimed reserve on the old Ivory Route
between Mozambique and the Zulu territory, also boasts the other members of the Big
Five – lion, leopard, black and white rhino and buffalo – as well as over 340 bird species
and abundant other mammal species right down to the tiny Suni, one of the smallest antelope
in the world. Tembe combines the best of both worlds – an authentic Big Five experience in
a national game park and the personal touch and world class service of a private luxury lodge,
50% co-owned and managed by the Tembe tribe, headed by Nkosi (Chief) Tembe.
